Naruto's strongest flame escape

Chapter 54 Target, Land of Rain
Five days later, Hokage Building
Hiruzaru Sarutobi held the list in his hand and was looking it over carefully when he suddenly saw a familiar name again.

He couldn't help asking hesitantly: "Suo Mao, are you sure you want to let him go to the Land of Rain again?"

"Yes, Hokage-sama, I have already asked him about this matter, and he said there is no problem."

Hatake Sakumo stood aside, nodded and replied when he heard the words.

"Well, that's it." Hiruzaru Sarutobi fell into deep thought, his eyes flickering as he looked at the list.

"What's more, if he hasn't experienced the baptism of real blood, and hasn't fought more brutal battles, even if he is a genius, he will only become a flower in the greenhouse, and I'm afraid it will be an embarrassing task in the future."

Seeing this, Hatake Sakumo expressed his point of view bluntly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen heard the words, his eyes narrowed slightly, nodded and said: "Well, indeed, what you said is not bad, well, the personnel will be arranged according to this list."

Immediately afterwards, he said in a very dignified tone: "In addition, this time I will appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the Kingdom of Rain war!"

"Therefore, on the surface, my three disciples are delivering the orders, but in essence, you are in charge of commanding in secret. Everything is up to you!"

"Yes, Hokage-sama!" Hatake Sakumo bent slightly, and replied seriously and respectfully.

……

Anbu underground base.

In the mission room at this moment, a large number of Anbu ninjas are gathering.

In terms of number, it even exceeded the number of people in the last large-scale mission.

Everyone stood in place in an orderly manner, silently, as if waiting for someone.

Xuan Yu is also one of them, but compared to some people who don't know the situation, he already knows what it is.

Sure enough, it didn't take long.

In front of the group of Anbu ninjas, a figure suddenly appeared. It was the current leader of the Anbu ninja, Sakumo Hatake.

Today, he is dressed more formally, not as casual as usual, and his whole demeanor is completely different, giving people a sense of majesty and sternness.

Hatake Sakumo looked at the crowd, then said sternly, "Very well, all twenty teams have assembled."

"This time, your mission is to be responsible for intelligence collection, support and rescue during the Rain Country War, and assassinate high-level ninjas in the enemy's army."

"Teams try to avoid direct confrontation with the enemy, and understand why we are called Anbu, but if you encounter a single person who will not disturb the enemy, you don't need to ask, and you are allowed to kill them directly!"

"Because Hokage appointed me as the commander-in-chief of the Land of Rain campaign, during the Land of Rain period, all Anbu members present here will only obey me."

"Anyone else's order will be invalid for you, understand!"

"Yes!" Everyone in Anbu replied in unison.

At the same time, a chilling atmosphere gradually permeated the air.

Hatake Sakumo nodded in satisfaction, and continued:

"Konoha's ninja troop set off for the Land of Rain yesterday, led by three disciples of Hokage-sama. Since your mission requires secrecy, we set off today."

"Now, everyone, set out as a team and go to the Land of Rain at full speed. After sneaking into the territory of the Land of Rain, wait for my next order!"

All the Anbu ninjas left immediately after hearing the words, and more than half of the twenty teams disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Xuan Yu glanced at the place where Hatake Sakumo was originally standing, but at this moment the other party had disappeared in place, presumably rushing to join the Konoha ninja troops.

So he didn't stay any longer, and ran towards the outside of Muye Village alone.

A few days ago, Hatake Sakumo came to Senshou Station to find him, and told him without any concealment that this time he was selected as one of the [-] Anbu execution teams in the Land of Rain.

Hatake Sakumo didn't give him a chance to refuse in his words, which made Xuanyu feel that the other party wanted to temper him.

As for Kushina and Konan, Xuan Yu had already bid farewell yesterday, because yesterday was the time when Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru set off with the Konoha troops.

Knowing that Xuanyu was going to the Land of Rain again, Tsunade was going to go to Hokage to discuss the theory, but when Xuanyu said that Hatake Sakumo personally arranged it, Tsunade gave up his thoughts.

Because even she, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru also respect Hatake Sakumo very much.

Not only because of the other party's status and contribution to the village, but also because of the other party's powerful strength.

Xuan Yu deeply agrees with this, because in the past few months, he has fought with Hatake Sakumo more than once, and all of them undoubtedly ended in failure.

He even felt that the opponent might not even display half of his true strength.

……

blow!
A figure shuttled through the woods, making a little wind, at an astonishing speed.

Xuan Yu was wearing Anbu's uniform at this time, with a white and red-patterned mask on his face, staring sharply ahead.

At this time, he was about to reach the border of the Land of Rain, and after sneaking into the Land of Rain, he needed to find those ninjas who specialized in communicating with the high-level troops.

All information transmission and high-level instructions need to be communicated through these contacts who have already been arranged in the country of rain.

This is also to make the intelligence network more clear and thorough, rather than appear messy.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Xuan Yu stopped walking, hid on the tree trunk and stared straight at a certain place in the distance.

On a small road not far from him, a trade caravan was driving at this time. There were about six people in the caravan. They all looked like ordinary people, talking and laughing along the way.

But Xuan Yu was still keenly aware that something was wrong with some of them, they seemed to be chatting with others, but their eyes kept wandering away from the team, as if they were on guard for something.

"Not right."

Xuan Yu's eyes opened slightly, and he had already made a rough judgment in his heart. Those slightly weird people in the caravan were probably ninjas from ninja villages in other countries.

Because of the outbreak of the war, most of the caravans or merchants have already received the news, so even if they continue to trade, they will choose to take the road of other countries and undergo identity checks.

However, what this caravan took was obviously a small road.

Either this small caravan did not receive the news, or it was because ninjas from other countries were hiding in the caravan, so they took the path to avoid identity checks.

"It seems that there should be a ninja team here, sneaking into the caravan, trying to sneak into the country of fire."

The thoughts in Xuan Yu's mind gradually became clear, so he was ready to take action directly, to see how those slightly weird caravan personnel would react.

So he didn't continue to wait and see, and directly took off the burden on his body. Long before he set off, he made a decision in his heart to go all out.

Going to the Land of Rain again may be another trial of life and death.

But this time, he no longer wants to be a prey in the eyes of others. If he wants to, he must be the hunter who hunts down the prey!
